Thread: Bad Boy Mow Deck Buildup

SORRY I forget who posted about the Bad Boy deck, but here is what my deck looks like at the end of a day of mowing.

This Picture is on the Chute Opening:

This is how much I scrap out daily from the deck

This last picture is of the weird wear pattern of my blades I think caused by how the deck builds up , but notice how it dips in the middle of the cutting surface. These blades are less than a week old.

Not complaining, but the individual had a new deck and thought the grass will never build up. Yes it does, and as soon as the paint wear off that new deck, you can look forward to this daily chore. It only takes 10-minutes, but YOU MUST DO IT DAILY or the buildup gets crazy and as hard as concrete!!!

Mow a lot of soggy grass. We have had a lot of rain all season. Grass has been growing crazy fast! 4 to 5" in a week. Its sticky too! Accidentally get some on a house or car, and you better have your power washer, and I do, cause you are NOT going to blow it off, you are going to wash it off.

This year the grass is really sticky. BUT if you examine that build up, you will see a lot of mud. In fact I'd say its a pretty good mix of dirt and grass, and the reason, if you don't scrap it off daily, it will literally harden like a rock.

You can also tell from the pictures is that grass is wet! If I was to wait until all the dew was off the grass, I wouldn't get started cutting until noon.
